Motorcycle advice, Royal Enfield.

I'm looking to purchase a classic, Enfield top of the list but I've got so much conflicting advice I'm now confused.
Been informed they are rather unreliable but the new models have fuel instead of carb injection and are more reliable. However a mate had a five year old one and kept finding false neutrals between gears and had trouble finding anyone to fix it.
Anyone got one? Ridden one or know owt about them. Beautiful looking bikes but I don't want to be pushing it everywhere.
Thanks...
